My wife hardly ever says anything about me buying singles as she knows how much I like to add to my PC, and I try to limit myself monthly if possible... She knows it's my only hobby, and I never really get into values or prices paid, because if she ever knew what quite a few of my cards were bought for, she might have a different opinion... overall though she buys herself nice things all the time, and I NEVER complain or bring it up... That seems to work best for me... Compromise you know???
